reassign 344248 libreadline5
thanks

Rationale:

a) Bug irreproducible upstream on non-Debian systems using older libreadline
   versions. For details of the discussion, see the thread on r-devel at 
   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/6196

b) Same thread shows debugger info linking it to readline

c) Debian backport for stable by Chris Steigies doesn't have the bug either.

d) Similar bug reports appear to have been filed on libreadline5.

Thanks, Dirk
